Roy Orbison, George Harrison, and now Tom Petty. Another Wilbury gone.

What a group. Notice the empty chair on this End Of The Line done after Orbison passed.

I happened to be looking on YouTube when I came across this video of this beautiful song. I reckon they were a supergroup but they were so casual and comfortable in each other’s presence. They certainly had nothing to prove.
Hadn’t heard it in a while, listened to it maybe three straight times and sent it by Line to my brother in Bangkok. He shot back a prompt thank you. He hadn’t heard it in a while either.
Tom was definitely one of the good guys. “End of the Line” for now, brother.
